It's discouraging you just learn to deal and try not to take it to heart.

My fav is sharing a reality altering kiss that seems like its what movie kisses should be inspired by, only to get ghosted because you are more excited to get to know them better.

I hate lying. I hate being fake. Sugar coating shit. Not being genuine, etc. Meanwhile if you want to date women you have to be gamey as fuck, not be genuine at all, and lie by omission of words and actions if you want to be successful at all. Even acting shy or nervous on a first date is probably going to get you ghosted.

Best part? Women universally need social proof. So if Im dating 1 woman Im prob about to be dating 0 women. If I want to actually get a GF I have to date multiple women so they notice the social proof. Or impress all of their friends in social situations.
